Bottled version. Deep amber. The low carbonation gives a pleasant, soft mouthfeel. Malty and dry, but also slightly papery. Medium bitterness.

Definitely one of my favorites. Perfect at about 54 degrees, a great caramel and roasted malt flavor that lingers long. Can’t wait to try this on tap. Only qualms would be that it lacks a foretaste with much complexity, too carbonated in the bottle.

Dark ruby red. Full bodied. Fruity and flavourful. Some alcohol-flavour.....

Apparently an effort from Theakston to attract cool people through cool ale. They can do better than that.

Milds are really not my favourite style among cask ales - most of them are, well, too mild... However, this one is probably about as good as a mild can get.

Peculier but in a good way! Khaki (is that a color?) head over a rich brown Ale. The color is especially beautiful while pouring for some reason (?). Wonderful roasty flavor and complex aroma I can't begin to pinpoint. I can't wait to have this one again!

Light coffee taste mixed with a smooth palate. A refreshing mild on a warm spring day.

A flat and weak beer. More like a lager than an ale........................
